Matt Leinart rips Dean Cain over Johnny Manziel comparison

Considering what the careers are like for both these guys, it might just be possible to get some sort of pay-per-view slap fight going on FOX.

According to TMZ, Leinart is angry because Cain recently told TMZ Sports that Cleveland Browns draftee, quarterback Johnny Manziel should be careful about running with the Hollywood crowd, or he might end up out of the NFL like Leinart.

The former NFL quarterback fired back at the former college football star and "Superman" actor, telling him via Twitter to "stick to being D list."

I wouldn't think Matt Leinart knew much about that, considering he didn't seem very good at understanding D's?

If you don't recognized that football reference, please re-examine your credentials as an American.

Leinart responded where all manly men now settle their differences -- on Twitter. Leinart wrote, "Put 7 years in, pretty sure that's 7 more than 99% of the world."

He then wrote, "Some people should stick to their day job because they couldn't cut it!" and "Stick to being D list!"

So ... is Matt Leinart saying he found a day job?

Just for the record, Cain, 47, was a defensive back who graduated from Harvard in 1988. He was undrafted but attended camp with the Buffalo Bills as a free agent signee. A knee injury derailed his football career.

Leinart won the Heisman Trophy in 2004 while leading the USC Trojans to a national championship. He was taken in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Phoenix Cardinals and had what's widely viewed as a disappointing career. He played for the Oakland Raiders in 2012 and last played for the Buffalo Bills in 2013.
